Over our three decades leading Vestar, we have found one thing to always be true – partnership is good business. In 1988, we founded Vestar on the belief that what truly makes a company successful and ensures lasting value is the management team behind it. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the obstacles founders face when building a business, but we also know that it takes more than a good business plan to be successful. That’s why we set out to find and back strong managers with whom we can build a true partnership.

This founding principle underlies everything we do at Vestar. As our firm has evolved, we’ve mastered a creative and flexible approach to structuring transactions, while helping to optimize the balance sheet and operations of a business. Our integrated team of investment and operating professionals guides founders and owners to build on the successful foundation they’ve created and capitalize on the potential in their businesses. We’re proud of the culture of respect we have built with our management teams.

We would love the opportunity to discuss your aspirations and how Vestar might help you meet those goals. Even if you are unsure of your next steps and simply want to better understand the options available, we’re happy to talk. We look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your business.
